“Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend”
“Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says “Love your enemies” It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power and there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love, they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says, love.
There is something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from” Loving Your Enemies”)”–Martin Luther King Jr, (A knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr)-add to favorite quotes
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear”
“Returning violence for violence multiply violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stairs…Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that”
“The day we see the truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die”
LET US ALL RESOLVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THIS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
